50 Shades of grey- is a terrible terible book in anyway you can imagine, this becomes even moreannyoing when it sells so much and everyone and your mum is reading it...so
I think it's more "everyone's mum is reading it."

Not really, I think despite Justin Bieber's dumb hair and his awful singing career, he seems like a nice guy, so I'm a bit impervious to that mentality.
The thing about Justin Bieber to me is that his music is so damn forgettable I find it impossible to actually dislike. I could go looking for it and memorise it to develop a hatred for it, but why would I do that? Most of the time I hear it, I've forgotten it by the time I have time to form a thought. It's like the flashy thing from MiB.
So honestly, I don't get the hate for him. Not that I think people necessarily hate him because he's popular.
anyway, to the topic at hand, yes, but only technically.
I wouldn't know about 50 Shades or Twilight if they weren't hugely popular. If they weren't popular, they would have escaped my notice. I hate them (and most things I dislike) on their own merits, though. The above for being terrible writing. Also, Creed and nickelback for calling themselves music. That's an unforgivable transgression. >.>
